3SquaresVT, the largest federal nutrition program, provides benefits to an average of 74,000 Vermonters each month. This conference will offer an opportunity to gain a deeper knowledge of 3SquaresVT eligibility, deductions, benefits and the application process, learn about recent and upcoming policy changes, enhance outreach skills, network with colleagues from your region, and participate in focused discussions with seasoned advocates.

Taking place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the conference will offer various trainings, skills, and outreach strategies for new and seasoned advocates alike. DCF staff will also provide a policy and procedural update and facilitate a Q&A session. Stay tuned for the full agenda coming soon. Hunger Free Vermont will provide morning refreshments and lunch.

A broad range of organizations and people are invited to attend including those from community action agencies, agencies on aging, food shelves, community meal sites, schools, health clinics and hospitals, senior centers, shelters, veterans organizations, housing authorities, child care centers and more. Whether you do direct application assistance or just interact with low-income Vermonters, this conference is for you!
